organizational development as a manager, teacher and consultant to
public, private and non-profit organizations. He resides in Madison,
Wis. and is the vice-president of organizational development and
human resources for Marshall Erdman & Associates, a provider of

leads to more democratic approaches to solutions. How can we
strengthen partnerships between public servants and citizens?”
